¿La crianza de un hijx puede ser compatible con otras actividades? Normalmente no queda otro remedio, y los papás/mamás hacen malabares y pueden con todo (trabajo, niñxs y todo lo demás) o por lo menos lo intentan. A mí me desconcierta, y a la vez me asombra y agradezco profundamente, el despertar tan brutal del lado creativo, la fluidez de ideas, las ansias por emprender, los aires de cambio, que trae consigo la crianza, y por contrapartida, el poco o inexistente tiempo disponible para materializar éstos sueños. Hablo de mi experiencia personal, y de la de muchísimos papás/mamás que han encontrado su vocación, o lo que realmente quieren hacer con su vida, a través de la ma-paternidad.
Personalmente, desde que decidí dedicarme a la ARTEsanía, hace aproximadamente 6 años, nunca estuve tan satisfecha con los resultados de mi trabajo como desde que Abril llegó a mi vida. Quizás las horas dando el pecho, aliviando sus llantos o quedándome dormida mientras la dormía han hecho por mi creatividad mucho más que horas repitiendo la misma pieza en el taller. Y todo ésto me ha abierto puertas y posibilidades que nunca hubiera imaginado. Y a la vez, mientras sueño despierta, y mil ideas brillantes llenan mi cabeza, empiezo a viajar a toda prisa, tanta que parece que voy a la velocidad de la luz, y se me desencajan hasta las mandíbulas...una niña grita: -Mamá!!! Y el mundo se para, ya no te acuerdas de lo que estabas soñando, y te preguntas si todo ésto tiene algún sentido. Una voz muy bajita, dentro de mi, sí lo sabe: nuestros hijos nos están ofreciendo un gran regalo: la oportunidad de volver a ser niños, y de disfrutar el momento presente. Y aunque hay muchos días muy duros, quizás ésta es la clave, por la que nuestra creatividad se manifiesta, y a la vez, nos obliga a estar en el aquí y ahora, sin oportunidades de estar proyectando en el futuro constantemente. Y aunque ésto sea un gran palo para nuestro pensamiento racional y lineal, también es un gran aprendizaje si decidimos recibirlo y disfrutarlo...
¿O es que hay algo que acaricie y complete más nuestra alma que las semillas de diente de león que tu niñx está soplando al viento...?

Does raise a child can be compatible with other activities? Normally there is no alternative , and dads / moms should juggle and do everything ( work , kids and everything else ) or at least try. I'm baffled but at the same time amazed and deeply grateful , about this brutal awakening of the creative side , the flow of ideas, the desire to undertake and the winds of change that brings nurturing, and by contrast, little or nonexistent time available to realize these dreams. I refer to my personal experience , and that of many dads / moms that found their calling, or what they really want to do with their life , through motherhood/fatherhood. .
Personally, since I decided to dedicate myself to arts&crafts , about 6 years ago , I was never so pleased with the results of my work like since Abril came into my life . Maybe all of that hours breastfeeding, relieving her cries or staying asleep while lulling her have done for my creativity much more than hours repeating the same pattern in the workshop. And all this has opened doors and opportunities I have never imagined . And suddenly, while daydream , and a thousand great ideas are filling my head , I'm beginning to travel very fast, so much it seems I'm travelling at the speed of light, even my jaw dislodges... a girl shouts: - Mom!!! And world stops, and you no longer remember what you was dreaming , and you wonder if all this makes any sense. A very soft voice , within me, knows it: our children are giving us a great gift : the chance to be kids again, and enjoy the present moment . And although there are many tough days , perhaps this is the key by which our creativity is manifested , and in turn, requires us to be in the here and now, without opportunities to be constantly projecting into the future . And although this is a bad thing for our rational and linear thinking , it is also a great learning experience if we choose to receive and enjoy it...
Or is there something that complete and cherish more our soul that the seeds of dandelion your child is blowing in the wind ... ?
